  • Greed isn’t an intention, it’s an attribute. You don’t really intend to go be greedy, you intend to go make money because of the greed. Sure a cartoon villain might intend to go be greedy because he’s Ebenezer Scrooge. But people aren’t generally speaking cartoons.

    Attributes are the foundation that makes up the decision making that goes into willful intention.

    But no one person is a singular thing, thus you literally cannot have an intention that is made up of only one attribute.

    That desire to make money along with the greed of the person, is also going to be informed by things such as self preservation, hunger, thirst, desire for shelter, desire to help others, desire to hurt others, creativity, etc.

    A person who makes wood cups enjoys the hobby, then sells the cups with the intention to make money to buy more wood. Then due to their greed that intention is compounded and they start a business and expand.

    There is a reason the seven sins and virtues are as esoteric as they are. They are supposed to describe non-willful forces that drive people.






  • Part of that is, out side of a few regions of the Midwest that have a really unique accent.

    Most of the Midwest is “nutural English”. Yes there’s an accent, but there is a huge lack of slang, regional quirks, and is widely one of the most understandable accents across every English speaking country.

    It’s the “universal English accent” in a sense. It’s a large reason why call centers became so popular there. That and low costs.

    Functionally Midwestern accent is in a way the English that’s so boring that the banality of it IS the accent. Lol it’s kinda funny.
